I played around with the late "windows 2000 professional" which is now NT5
and all I can say is that it took so _looooong_ to install. And afterwards
it crashed (this is to be expected) on the first boot.

Also there were a lot of problems with various hardware drivers (the
SBLive is one ex) designed for NT4.0 which caused 2000 profeesional to
give the blue screen of death :-(

So all in all I don't think it is worth valuable money.
